Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office now says his campaign paid for a trip to Texas last week to announce a lawsuit seeking to force the restart of construction of a southern border wall, and taxpayers paid only for his spokesman to make the trip.
35% : Schmitt, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, filed the lawsuit in a Texas federal court arguing that President Biden's decision to halt construction on the border wall is unlawful because Congress approved the project in an appropriations bill that became law in December 2020.
